10:00 pm
if you had the answer that would ref up the economy and create jobs, would you -- rev up the economy and create the jobs would you tell us now or wait until you get back from vacation? president obama says he has the answer and will tell all of us in a speech. that sounds hopeful, doesn't it? there's a catch. president obama will not tell us until september, after he returns from his 10-day vacation on martha's vineyard of the tonight many want to know why is he waiting? his vocal critics say he doesn't know what to do. donald trump says the president takes more vacations than any human being i've seen. more from donald trump. but first sam youngman joins us. why waiting until after labor day, after his vacation? >> i think for any blockbuster you want to build for spin.
10:01 pm
right now the president is laying the ground work to build support for this plan by going out in the country and talking to people. they all take vacations, they all look bad and no president is ever really on vacation. obviously, most american people i think when they hear the president has a plan they want to know why what is he waiting for? >> greta: you can be patient, i can be patient, the president can be patient because we all have one thing in common, we have jobs. it is such a tin ear to listen. when he hears about people terrified about putting food on the take, paying rent. the fact that he thinks that congress here, i will wait, without attempting to put some sort of hope in the lives of the american people is beyond me. >> i think heat trying to put hope in the lives of the american people. -- i think he is trying to put hope in the lives of the
10:02 pm
american people. when september comes around i think we'll see a different dynamic and a president who is far more energized. one of the things i've learned covering the white house, july spending weekends and late nights there you appreciate being able to leave the building. after a while it does start to feel like what a couple of presidents have called the crown jewel in the federal penitentiary system. you are right for people who are out of work two weeks may not seem like to us, but every second and day is a lifetime for somebody out of work. >> greta: i do not be him vacation. he could lay his -- plan on table and go on vacation. instead of this tease. that level of cruelty -- you say he might be inspiring. new gallup poll has him down 26% on the economy. doesn't sound like he's giving much hope or inspiration to a lot of people.
10:03 pm
i travel a lot. in a million years, if i said i had the answer i wouldn't dangle it and not give it to the american people. >> operate ticks are bad for right now. -- the optics are bad for right now. if it is a plan that works. a plan that will create jobs, i think people will forgive the short vacation. the sad truth is the reality of the politicalization we live in, we the president rolls out his plan he has to go to the mat 24/7 to defend it. it is going tobacco eviscerated, no matter what. >> greta: that is part of the job. in this job, when there is breaking news, anyone 11, not one of us went home -- 9/11, not one of us went home. when he signed up for it he knew the economy was in lousy shape. everybody knew it was going to
10:04 pm
be a difficult job. if you really care, i also say that about the members of congress, republicans and democrats. if they really cared, you don't have to go out and listen to the american people. read your e-mail. at least give the appearance that you're working harder for them to get jobs for them. >> my grandfather would disagree he believes any time congress and the president are out of washington at the same time it is a good thing so they can't cause any more trouble. >> greta: indeed. does the white house have a tin ear about this? he could leave the plan and go on vacation. i'm not taking his vacation away. does the white house think this is a cruel thing to do? >> absolutely not. the white house has to plan for all nine innings. they can't drop the plan and the president goes on vacation or else the plan dies as soon as it escapes his lips. nobody in the city is more
10:05 pm
eager for jobs than the white house because the president's reelection depends heavily on it. they are trying to ramp up to kickoff the fall, when congress comes back here's going to be the jobs plan and here's what we are going to fight over. >> greta: and point out that the people in the white house will wait until september like the two of us, they have jobs. sam, thank you. >> right now some key democrats are getting an earful during a town hall in detroit, maxine waters told a riled up crowd that the president is running out of time. >> the congressional black caucus loves the president too. we are supportive of the president, but we are getting tired y'all. and so, what we want to do is, we want to give the president every opportunity to show what he can do and what he's
10:06 pm
prepared to lead on. we want to give him every opportunity. but our people are hurting. the unemployment is unconscionable. we don't know what his strategy is. we don't know why on this trip that he's in the united states now he's not in any black community, we don't know that. all i'm saying to you is, we are politicians. we are elected officials. we are trying to do the right thing and the best thing. when you let us know, it time to let go, we'll let go. >> greta: congresswoman maxine waters was not alone. in california nancy pelosi also faced tough talk from voters about the debt ceiling bill the president just signed. >> for your tremendous leadership in the congress of the united states -- [ inaudible ] >> when we passed this bill which i didn't like at all.
10:07 pm
>> why did you vote for it? >> because -- [ inaudible ] >> greta: looks as though president obama may have his hands full when he returns from martha's vineyard. the chinese say something is extremely absurd what is your first thought? that is how china is describing the new report that they teamed up with pakistan behind our back and stole our technology. do you remember that stealth helicopter that went down during the bin laden raid in pakistan? the team of navy seals tried to destroy the chopper before they left but a big portion of tail repainted before the met cal could cool the event went down. the chinese inspected it and took samples.
10:08 pm
what should the united states do now? earlier today we asked donald trump about that. nice to talk to you again. when we last talked we talked about the fact that our stealth helicopter that we had to leave at the scene of the killing of bin laden, was a stealth helicopter, with that sophisticated technology. now i've learned that it was just three days late kai these came in, the pakistanis invited them in before we were able to talk to bin laden's wives who were -- who were at the scene, just three days after it was down the chinese got in and took a look at our technology watch do you think we should do? >> number one, you have pakistan, we asked them not to show this very expensive stealth technology and they did, even though we give them billions and billions of dollars. then you have china the worst abuser ever in this country against our country. what they are doing to us as
10:09 pm
you know is unbelievable. they go in and they steal our stealth technology. they look at the helicopter, they've done the measurements, they've done everything that you have to do. they now have our technology. we should build -- we should bill china. we should do something called an offset. they've stolen billions of dollars of technology. they've stolen the secrets, automatically in one quick little session. so we should do something like bill china. sue them in the world court. as you and i discuss often, china is not our friend, they are our enemy. we treat them as though they are our friends and they are taking the shirt off our president's back. that unfortunately, relates to our back. because our country is suffering. >> greta: secretary of defense panetta yesterday didn't deny the chinese had been brought in to look at the stealth helicopter. i thought a denial was an admission it happened. he didn't say to what extent
10:10 pm
our national security has been compromised. three days after the event happened, long enough to get the engineers from china to pakistan, we couldn't get in to interview the witnesses. now we have china and pakistan really in cahoots against us. >> we couldn't see our own helicopter first. china got there first, despite the fact we give them billions. by the way, denied it. it turned out, they were lying. >> greta: they denied it on their website. >> they denied having seen it. and it turned out they were lying. but i'm not surprised. i understand china. i know china. i've made a lot of money with china. i've dealt with china. and i can tell you, i've made a lot of money on china. i understand the chinese. they lied and they owe us an apology. and much more important than at apology, because they owe us many apologies. they owe us a lot of money for what they did. >> greta: let's see we lop off
10:11 pm
the debt, setting aside the incredible issue of national security and giving away our secrets. what do they say so what? >> look, i understand banking and banks. i understand owing and not owing. i understand lending better than maybe anybody that money doesn't come due for a long period of time they can do anything. they have a trillion up, sounds like a lot, relatively it is not. relative to what we are talking about with these huge economies. they have the problem, we den have the problem. >> greta: if we do just say okay we are taking off our debt, the cost of what you took from us in pakistan, the debt -- since we are not paying them off soon, do they care if we do that? >> i wouldn't start that way. i would just send them a bill for the value of the secrets they've stolen. they are stealing from boeing, general electric and everybody
10:12 pm
else. if you look at what they forced general electric to do or what they are trying to do with boeing. it is very, very sad that the companies are combing to it. they are trying to -- are succumbing to it. they are trying to get all of our technology so they can build other things, commercially or militarily they are stealing our technology. frankly, we have the weakest leadership ever. we have nobody that has a clue as to what they are doing. >> greta: the white house response the other day when this came out was something like we are not happy about it. i might say that tongue-in-cheek when i'm really mad about something. the way it reads in print it looks almost feckless like we are not lodging a complaint. >> our president is grossly incompetent. he doesn't know what he's doing. the world is laughing at us. it is very, very sad. >> greta: another question the
10:13 pm
president is on a bus tour going to three states that have reasonably good unemployment numbers, compared to the national average. he has been speaking about he has this plan but he's not going to release the plan until after labor day. in between that time he's going on vacation while americans wait. your thoughts on whether should americans be patient for two more weeks or enraged that he's taking his vacation first? >> first, he's traveling on a new 1.1 million dollar bus that was made in canada, which is hard to believe he would allow that to happen, because it looks so bad. he shouldn't be on vacation. he should be in washington with other people working. frankly, he should call congress back. he should get rid of committees, which are an insult and work out a deal with proper leadership they could get of the committees. work out a deal. they should all be back in washington, everybody the congressmen, senators and the president. >> greta: my thought is that
10:14 pm
bus that is made in canada, my guess is, as bad as that sounds, he had nothing to do with the order on that he may be riding around, i realize the pr aspect it looks bad. the idea, i do agree with you on this, the idea that he's going on vacation, while so many americans are scrambling for money whether to put food on the table to pay rent, to pay mortgage and he says he's got a plan but puts it off for another two weeks to me is the most incredible tin ear and insult to the american people. they don't need him on a vacation. >> i agree with you 100%. >> greta: he could release the report and go on vacation then. >> he's setting a record for vacations. as far as the bus is concerned the only thing worse was made in china. i'd rather have canada than china. wouldn't it be nice if we could make our own products? >> greta: indeed. i blame him for vacation, not for the bus. >> okay.
10:15 pm
>> greta: i read a report that says governor perry is going to come calling on you, true? >> he's doing a good job, you look at the poll numbers. great enthusiasm, he loves the country. and i respect what i'm seeing so far. yes we have spoken a number of times, good man. >> greta: there seems to be a when you join the field. everyone likes you right away. i know he's -- there's so many jobs created in texas it is under his watch so he gets credit for it. i read something a short time ago, in which they talked about the terrible education system in texas. and how so many students aren't ready for college? is that a point of vulnerability? the education budgets did get slashed unhim? >> they will start hitting him with lots of things. look at the education system in the united states generally? it is terrible. we used to have the best now we are very average. very mediocre.
10:16 pm
one of the things that bothers me the most about our education system is people come from foreign countries to harvard and the wharton school of finance and our best schools. then they go home. they are not allowed to stay in this country we send them back home so they can compete against us. we educate them, take our slots at our best schools so our people can't go to those schools. they go back to china and india and take our shirts off, pretty sad. >> greta: our education system below in the elementary and high school level is so poor that people can't get into these schools any way. such a huge drop-out rate. we push people through who can't read and write, terrible things. even in those spots that you are talking about, we couldn't fill them any way in some instances. >> almost every aspect of our country is doing poorly. education, almost any aspect
10:17 pm
of our country is setting record lows. we've never been at this point. throughout the world, we are no longer respected as a country and that's pretty sad. >> greta: you can watch more of our interview with donald trump at gretawire.com. >> rick santorum is taking swipes at governor perry by twitter. why? you will find out, he's next. >> they were warned. hillary clinton warned president obama and mexico's president calderon about the growing dangers of mexico. now a terrifying wakeup call may be shaking up the white house. the two presidents may wish they listened to secretary clinton. >> plus, what is rush limbaugh saying? he's fired up talking about president obama and former vice president al gore. you are going to hear from you are going to hear from [ jon ] up in alaa, we find the best sweetest crab for red lobster we can find. male announcer ] hurry into crabfest at red lobster and savor 3 crab entrees under $20 like our crab and seafood bake. or our snow crab and crab butter shrimp.

10:20 pm
10:21 pm
>> greta: since the iowa debate the gop candidates have hit the campaign trail. they may have scattered but they can still jab each other. the new way is twitter. senator santorum fired off a tweet that barbecued perry over his recent statements about bernanke. the treat says: perry's comments are disappointing and out of bounds. santorum kept going.
10:22 pm
bernanke's policies are wrong for america it didn't make him tremendous soon news, just wrong. -- treasonous, just wrong. nice to see you. congratulations nobody thought you would do as well as in iowa. >> we got a lot of buzz in iowa, south carolina, new hampshire and pennsylvania. we are very encouraged by those states that know me. we've picked up volunteers, endorsements, money, all of those things are important if we are going to continue this -- i would say we are the mother scooter campaign. not flying around -- we are the motor scooter campaign. not flying around in jets. a couple of cars and a been. of kids and lots of stops. that's the kind of campaign we are running, i feel good about it. >> you jabbed governor perry by twitter, why? >> look, i was disappointed
10:23 pm
that kind of over-the-top rhetoric, it is not appropriate for particularly after the fed. the fed is supposed to be an independent agency. i strongly believe that bernanke has made some mistakes. but the biggest mistake is the dual charter. they have a responsibility to keep inflation in check, which i agree with. also a charter to get the economy going and reduce unemployment. the fed should not be in the business of monetaryxñk stimuluses. i think he's done i think a poor job in some respects. but to say it is free son news -- it is free son news. >> greta: do you think bernanke took that seriously? >> folks like john conyers who say the president should be impeached.q >> for some reason --
10:24 pm
>> charging someone with a high crime punishable by death that is worse than impeachment as far as i'm concerned. >> greta: some nights i think things are bad, sometime i don't. >> i think we cheapen the debate when we talk in those terms. he's wrong. maybe i'm a little sensitive to this when we take public policy and turn it into criminal activity, we see a lot of that going on, we see the media trying to do that. >> greta: i worry the american people if they den like you not talking about contenders, competing in the race, american people, those who like governor perry will say it wasn't bad. those who don't like him are so offended. it is -- in all this political rhetoric there's a lot of who you like and who you don't like before you decide whether the person said something wrong. >> i'm not offended. i don't think it was smart.
10:25 pm
i don't think it is good for republicans to be out there -- >> greta: you mentioned republicans. what is the difference between a republican and tea party activist? >> i would like to think that the republican party is a party that is a broad-based party that has various elements in it. one is the tea party. which is a grassroots group of folks who care a lot about the founding principles of our country. and the constitution. and having a government live within those constitutional bounds. >> greta: shouldn't the republicans feel that way? >> it is all within the envelope of the republican party. like anything else, how strictly do you interpret the constitution? how limited a government should the federal government be? there's room for division. >> greta: it seems in the democratic party there's the far left, middle and moderate. with the republicans there's the far right, the moderates and the tea party.
10:26 pm
>> and the republican party, you have the libertarianish folks who i consider to be the far right, sort of the ron paul folks. then the more tea party folks. then you have folks are some would say far right because of the belief in our founding principles, particularly the declaration, rights come from god. and this country is a moral enterprise. i put myself in that group. i have a lot of commonality with the tea party with the -- what we call the business conservatives too. there's a lot of overlapping. i think that's a healthy thing. the more that we can understand our different elements and the different passions and still have a sort of a platform that we can run by, some emphasize one strain, national security interests above others that's fine. >> greta: the tea party seems to have a little foot on the neck of the republican party. >> i think there's a reason. the reason is the republican party trade from those
10:27 pm
constitutional principles from limited government. as a result, you got a lot of folks fired up that we weren't any better tan the left. -- better than the left. the tea party has been good for the republican party to remind us who we are. barack obama has done more. he created the tea party by going so far to the left that it has recentered the republican party, i think in a good place. >> greta: what is your view on the president's vacation de? >> i know the president gets knocked for taking a lot of vacation time. he does take a lot of vacation time. the problem is, his policies are bad. he can take all the vacation time and think about what he wants to do. he's going to do the same thing. he's going to move left. it is going to be government jobs. i don't care if he -- [ talking over each other ] >> greta: i don't begrudge him a vacation. give us the report then go on vacation. >> whatever the report is, it going to be the same as he's
10:28 pm
had before, government, government, government. what i take offense to from this president he takes every policy discrepancy, we have serious policy differences and he says it is about politics. it is not about politics. it is about a fundamentally different view for the future of this country. his view is the way of france, europe, the welfare state way, top down government control way. tea party, republicans and conservatives believe in bottom up, in free people. it is not politics, it is policy. >> greta: what is your next event, where? >> new hampshire over the weekend. >> greta: that's it, i got that go. >> now gretawire do the cam a quick scan away. check out the -- barcode on your screen. get close to the television, open the app and scan with the phone's camera. in a flash you will have an all access pass to everything
10:29 pm
greta wire. >> he dissed her when she warned him. hillary clinton saying mexico is like colombia 20 years ago. nearly one year later you will hear the latest. it is grisly. >> remember this while scene, people storming the wisconsin state capitol? there may be new trouble for the governor. ♪ [ male announcer ] you never know when a moment might turn into something more. and when it does men with erectile dysfunction can be more confident in their ability to be ready with cialis for daily use. cialis for daily use is a clinically proven low-dose tablet you take every day,

>> greta: okay we admit it e we've been busy with the debt ceiling crisis and the presidential race in 2012. don't think we've forgotten this war or don't care, because we do. tonight it is worse. violence in mexico literally closing. many may want to pretend it isn't. suspected drug trafficker shot and kill 11 over the weekend in acapulco. one man was mutilated his body parts scattered all over the city. criminals gunning down two men near a beach with children nearby. in mexico city decapitated body hanging from a bridge head left in a trash bag nearby. some may want to deny it this is a war on our border. remember when secretary of state clinton said this? >> looking more and more like
10:34 pm
colombia looked 20 years ago. where the narco traffickers control certain parts of the country. >> greta: president obama rebuked her for saying that. saying it was not an apt comparison who is facing reality secretary of state clinton or president obama? join us on the phone fox news correspondent. james, identify some of the areas of violence and what has been going on in the last few days? >> this has happened in desperate areas of mexico, west, southwest and center of the country. strangely it is all interconnected. if we look at the western state of mexico to start with, the army intercepted a convoy of drug cartel trucks. one truck split off andrew the fire to allow the other two, one of which contained a cartel leader to escape. eight people died.
10:35 pm
this particular area, which is -- is a battle ground between two cartels. the family drug cartels and the knight tell s. the -- the family cartel leader died in a firefighter with police last december. if we go to acapulco where all these terrible deaths including in front of children on a beach happened, that's the result of the labor drug cartel breaking up, after the killing of the leader. one of the worst incidents happened -- these are awful, one of the worst happened last october when mexican tourists, 22, were mistaken for rifle drug cartel gunmen, kidnapped and murdered. they came from michocan this
10:36 pm
last incident in mexico city involving this guy call montoya. he was a mexican marine who killed beltran mexican marine he ed the marine and became a bodyguard for the labor cartel. after he was gunned down by mexican marine he decided, montoya to start his own drug cartel called the hand with eyes. and he's been arrested last week. he admitted to killing 300 people, with his own hand. ordering the murder of 300 more. one of which was what you mentioned that body headless body hanging from a bridge. all this is interconnected, one way or another. as you said it is an explosion
10:37 pm
of violence. >> greta: we only have a minute left. is it hitting mexico city? >> this is -- this body that was found hanging from a bridge is a middle class area of mexico city, right by a hospital called the angeles hospital which is a -- one of the most top market hospitals. it has come to mexico city with a vengeance. up to now it hasn't. of course when hundreds of motorists see a headless body handing from a bridge in the middle of mexico city, it is pretty obvious. >> greta: james, thank you. >> coming up, is wisconsin governor's political to roll because of a recall? he goes on the record, next. >> the cast of jersey shore under fire. wait until you hear this. stay tuned. hi...do you happen to have any brilliant silver altimas?

>> from america's news headquarters, i'm ainsley earhardt. the new york times is reporting the justice department is conducting an investigation involving the standard&poors credit rating agency. the report says that the government wants to know if the company improperly rated dozens of mortgage securities in the years leading up to the financial crisis. the times saying the investigation began before the country's triple-a credit rating was cut earlier this month. a possible turning point for libyan rebels in the fight against the muammar al-qaddafi forces. dozens of fighters have surrounded the last working oil refinery. a victory there could allow rebels to close in on tripoli before long. the insurgents hold most of the eastern half of that country, while nato controls the seas to the north. i'm ainsley earhardt. we now return to "on the record" with greta.
10:43 pm
go to our web site, foxnews.com. thanks for watching. >> greta: is wisconsin governor scott walker next? is he at risk of voter recall? there have been nine recall votes in wisconsin this summer, all triggered by backlash of the collective barginning law this year. they managed to unseat two incumbent republicans. the republicans breathed a sigh of relieve but there -- sigh of relief, but there could be more trouble brewing. governor walker is joining us. good evening. >> home of the packers and brewers the next team up to win the world championship. >> greta: i'll be watching. sir, are you going to get recalled? what is the latest? >> i think they are going to be pushing for that.
10:44 pm
you look last tuesday six republicans facing election we kept the injure of the seats. out of 12, the union spent more money than all 12 combined. in total, there was more than 30 million dollars spent on those elections for the state senate recalls. i spent 13 running for governor. you can only imagine if they are willing to put that kind of money behind a senate recall they will probably try to put that money behind us. results will matter. people will see our reforms work. our schools and left governments are working. my hope is they will see it has paid off. >> greta: there's been no effort now under the state law they can't recall you until what point? you were elected in november, sworn in, in january when can they technically try to recall you? >> earliest is january 4th, the day after a year has passed. they could do that for me or any other elected official. who knows, whether they try then, push it back later in the spring. whether they try and put a
10:45 pm
